Herschel Hobbs Commentary: Bible Studies for Life, Summer 2014

This quarter’s Study Themes are:Beyond Belief: Exploring the Character of God – Too many people base their understanding of God on their own perceptions. But all that matters is what God says about Himself. God has revealed Himself to us through Scripture. In this six-session study we will focus on six attributes of God that will lead us to living fruitful lives in right relationship with Him. Resilient Faith: Standing Strong in the Midst of Suffering – For so many Christians in American culture, faith is an “easy” thing. They go to church, they read the Bible, and they love Jesus. But what happens when their comfortable world is turned upside down? For too many people, their faith is shaken. Faith in Christ can—and should—be constant, because Christ, the One in whom we place our faith, is constant. This six-session study is needed because we all face—or will face—difficult times when we need to stand firm in our Christ-centered faith. The Book of First Peter offers the needed understanding of what a resilient faith looks like and how we can stand strong regardless of what comes.And It Was Good – Both Christians and non-Christians have lived for many years with the debate about the origins of the universe. The Bible gives us a clear understanding that the One behind the universe is the Creator God. We also discover that God has given us responsibility over His creation—and that the Scripture gives us principles to guide us in how we use the earth. The Herschel Hobbs Commentary is designed for group leaders and group members who desire a more extensive exposition of the Bible passages in LifeWay’s Bible Study for Life series. Based on the King James Version of the Bible, The Herschel Hobbs Commentary can be used with all major modern English translations.
